Question:

One of the many works published by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy (A.D. ca. 100-170) was Optics. In this book Ptolemy reports the results of refraction experiments he conducted by observing light passing from air into water. His results are as follows: angle of incidence = 10.0°, angle of refraction = 8.00°; angle of incidence = 20.0°, angle of refraction = 15.5°. Find the percentage error in the calculated index of refraction of water for each of Ptolemy's measurements.
